Jordan Zevon was born on August 7, 1969 to Marylin 'Tule' Livingston and Warren Zevon. He emerged in Los Angeles with a love for music and a seemingly endless supply of drool. By the time he attended University High School (well, rumor has it he was seen there once in a while), the drooling had subsided-for the most part, but the love of music continued and he joined the New Originals as a drummer and vocalist. Mostly a cover band with an ironic name, the band started delving into songwriting and later changed their name to THE iMPOSTERS.

As John Lennon wrote, "Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans" and Jordan would learn how true that was when 3 weeks after his father's death, the news came that his Mother, Tule Livingston Dillow, was diagnosed with inoperable
breast cancer. Music was set aside as the family began the process of care for Tule while she underwent a painful series of radiation and chemotherapy. What was originally thought to be a treatable cancer was starting to spread quickly and was eventually too aggressive to fight. Tule died on March 3, 2004. Knowing how much his parents believed in his music and armed with a newfound appreciation for life, and the support of his recent marriage to "the one that almost got away", Jodi (apparently he has managed to work through his fears of commitment), Jordan knew it was time to get serious about his own career in music. He enlisted the help of some long time friends who, as luck would have it, are also talented musicians/producers. His first EP was released in early July, '05.
